Docking (dog)

Docking is when a vet cuts off part of a dog's tail when they are very young. It is usually done for certain dog breeds, like boxers and Dobermans. The vet uses a special tool to cut off the tail and then stitches it up. Some people think it makes the dog look tougher or more stylish. Others believe it is necessary for the dog's health and safety. However, some people think it is mean and unnecessary. It is important for pet owners to learn more about docking and the potential risks and benefits before making a decision for their pet.
